My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

“Do you guys hate him?” Nan Chen really wanted to know.

Although one could never really guess a person’s actual thoughts, Nan Chen still wanted to know how the employees thought of him.

“No no no! We really love him.” The managers quickly clarified.

“Then why is he called a demon king? Aren’t demons evil?” Nan Chen asked.

“In Internet language, demon doesn’t necessarily refer to evil beings. It can also mean a super force, a formidable being.” One of the managers explained.

Nan Chen still wasn’t able to fully grasp that idea.

“Why do you guys love him?” He carried on asking.

Saying that out loud felt kind of mushy to Nan Chen.

“Boss is pretty amazing. He keeps bringing the company to greater heights, and we got increments in salaries. It would have been hopeless for us if a good-for-nothing was our boss instead……”

“Ahem……” One of the other managers pretended to clear his throat, hinting to stop the conversation there, in case someone got offended.

“Of course, Mr. Nan, you are pretty amazing yourself. We heard that your business operation in Africa is going well.” The manager attempted at an awkward salvage of the situation.

“Is my brother really that great?” Nan Chen still had doubts.

“Of course he is not all good. He is too fierce, which causes everyone to be scared of him, not to mention he is also super strict. I remember I pulled an all-nighter to complete a proposal last time, but he barely took a glance before rejecting it. I feel so sad every time I recall that incident.”

Nan Chen vaguely recalled that incident, but he wasn’t aware that the manager had pulled an all-nighter to prepare the proposal.

He was only concerned with the end results. It didn’t matter how much time was taken to prepare the proposal, it had to be reworked on if it was not acceptable.

“Isn’t being strict a good thing?” Nan Chen asked.

“It is. We do appreciate honest feedback so that we can improve.” That manager gave a genuine reply.
